[Know more about the causes of acne 2 - Internal causes (face)]
Last time I talked to you about the external causes of acne. This time we will discuss the internal causes of acne💡.
The most common internal cause of acne is changes or imbalances in hormonal levels. Acne is a very common problem among adolescent boys and girls. This is mainly due to the increase in testosterone levels caused by pubertal development, which leads to strong oil secretion and promotes the formation of acne🥲.
I believe everyone has heard that acne in different places on the face corresponds to problems with the internal organs of the body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this statement is indeed reasonable. Next, I will explain to you how acne occurs in different places on the face. It corresponds to the problem of the body.
🤯Forehead: Heart-burning
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acne on the forehead corresponds to heart fire and anger. People with high mood swings, long-term overthinking, and excessive mental and physical exertion are more likely to develop acne on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
🧏♂️Left: Decreased liver function
Acne on the left side means that the detoxification function of the liver has declined. Problems with the body's blood circulation cause toxins to accumulate, leading to acne.
💁♀️Right: Heat accumulation in the lungs
For people with acne on the right side, if their throats feel dry or even cough with excessive phlegm, there is a chance that heat is accumulated in the lungs and lung fire is rising.
👃Nose: Poor spleen and stomach
Acne on the bridge of the nose, wings of the nose and tip of the nose is usually related to the spleen and stomach, and may be caused by eating too much fried, spicy, raw, cold and greasy food.
👄 Philtrum/lip area: intestinal problems
Acne in the philtrum and around the lips corresponds to intestinal problems. It is usually caused by intestinal heat caused by dietary habits that favor more meat and less vegetables, strong flavor and spicy food, leading to acne.
🫢Chin: endocrine/uterine problems
Some women often complain about sores that break out before and during menstruation, especially on the chin. The reason is that during menstruation, the increase in progesterone levels in women's bodies will increase oil secretion, which can clog hair follicles and form acne.
